I just got a call from Barb.  She's in no mood to type so she asked me to type for her.  Her husband Bill is having a big deal surgery Thursday.  They didn't want to do it because of the huge risk, but it has come to the point where there is no choice.  I'm lighting a candle.  It worked last year.  Pauline, she wants you to send a Michigan prayer.  Everybody else, please do what ever supersition you use or send positive thoughts.

Thank you so much friends.  I will let you know if your thoughts and prayers help.  This is risky surgery to repair a huge hernia from his abdominal surgery this time last year.  He needs a large mesh installed into his whole abdomen to hold all his organs in place since the wall is gone.  I can finish the rest of the move myself and will get others to help if I need it.  The hardest of work is all done thank goodness.  And we did take a nice vacation recently.  Now for a tough time.

Barb called earlier.  Bill made it through just fine.  They hoped they'd be able to do the surgery laproscopicly.  They didn't think they'd be able to, but they hoped.  Thank God they were able to.  It was way easier on him than if they'd had to make a huge incision in him, though all the scar tissue from his previous surgeries in his abdomen and put in a 12"X20" piece of mesh to hold his guts in.

He will have 6 weeks of painful recovery.  Barb will insist on them giving him narcotic pain killers because the non narcotic stuff doesn't work for him.  I told her to tell them that at his age it didn't matter if he got addicted.  What he needs is some relief.
